Talk:The Matrix

Switch's HP

This pistol is incorrectly labeled as a .40S&W version in one of the captions and the description. The barrel has been blued, giving it the appearance of a larger muzzle diameter. However, it cannot be a .40S&W because the slide is too narrow. On Hi Powers, the .40S&W has a wider slide and different contour to the slide stop. Switch clearly has a circular slide stop which only fits on the 9mm HPs.

Will someone with the privileges to do so please correct this?

Mouse's mystery guns

Can anyone identify the guns Mouse uses when the SWAT team kills him? I've no clue what they are. Also, what kinds of guns are the SWAT team themselves using? Orca1 9904 14:38, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

They were custom one-off pieces.

John Bowring, Armourer for The Matrix, sent the below email to madogre regarding the guns.

"I made & supplied the guns for the Matrix

1) Mouses guns are custom made electrically driven 12g that run at 900RPM
2) I chose Beretta 84's for Trinity as you said good little sister to Nios 92's.
3) Larry & Andy the directors of the matrix asked me who uses a 50AE desert eagle I Said " A Wanka" there reply no who are they maid for I said " Wankers" there reply are wankers in this film want Desert eagles My reply your film.
4) Wardrobe mistress wonted to change Switches pistol as she had and "I quote her designed the pistols for Romeo & Juliet" my reply stick to designing wardrobes. (Beside the funding for Romeo & Juliet was got by doing a small section of it to show what it would be like for which "I" suppled Stainless steel Beretta and that is what set the tone for the guns in Romeo & Juliet) You never know whose out there

Ok, how about the SWAT team that takes Mouse out? What kinds of guns are they using? Orca1 9904 14:59, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

A revamp

I got all four Matrix films in a pack and I was wondering if I could give the Matrix a proper revamp and remove the google images and tiny screencaps with high quality screencaps from my sister's uber-awesome laptop. I promise I'd give them the upgrade they deserve if it is okay with everyone. - Gunmaster45

This is the problem with asking in the discussion section, no one sees this displayed unless they look through the recent changes. - Gunmaster45

Indeed, though I don't think it's good to let long conversations go on while they're on the page itself. But as far as revamping it, I don't think there's any objection to you doing so. -MT2008 01:56, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

How's it look now? Maybe the revamp will boost its popularity a little more, since this page has always been really popular, yet it wasn't very complete with google images and such. You may notice the images are really big and clear, but I didn't have time to resize them and don't they look nice? - Gunmaster45

Looks great! And you didn't go too crazy with screencaps, which is always preferred. -MT2008 20:48, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

Annoying

Something that always bugs me about this movie is when Morpheus is talking about the Agents and says, "Men have emptied entire clips at them and hit nothing but air." I hope he's talking about M1 Garands or any bolt action stripper fed rifle, or he's made a serious classification error. It makes him look like an ass, and Morpheus is supposed to be cool and all knowning. - Gunmaster45

Personally, I'm a little more bugged by the fact that the film's (idiot) foley editor added the sound of hammers being cocked on the police officers' Glocks when they arrest Trinity. Or the Skorpions dropping rifle-caliber shell casings to the floor. Or the fact that Neo's Berettas disappear while he's dodging bullets on the roof after he drops them at his feet. The number of gun-related errors in this movie are rather ridiculous, and what annoys me most is when fans of the movie always cop out by saying, "Well, that's because it's the Matrix, DUH!" -MT2008 01:38, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
